Looking for new posts…
Earlier today I asked whether you supported defunding the RNLI.
The responses came thick and fast.
I’ve used some of them in my latest article.

People smugglers are running out of boats and channel crossings are down to a seven year low.
Here’s a piece I wrote about how the French are doing their part.

@KayBurley Starmer went to Southport, stayed for 22 seconds, rushed back to Downing Street for a party, then got on X and called the victims families far right thugs, and locked people up for posting “for all I care” statements on Facebook, and it was all downhill from there.

@KayBurley If I risk my life breaking into your house, will you cut me a set of keys and give me your Netflix password? I think I'd like living in your house better than my current digs.
